Amy Whitaker

Inventing Point B

Meaning 2018

Amy Whitaker skillfully occupies the overlap between two worlds: the world of business and the world of art. As an New York University professor with an education and career truly spanning the two disciplines, Amy devotes herself to sharing a belief that these two traditionally different mindsets have something powerful to offer each other.

Amy’s view is that by thinking more like artists, businesspeople have an opportunity to take a radically new approach, with more freedom, more creativity, and more possibilities. Her book Art Thinking sheds more light on this philosophy, and at Meaning, Amy invited us to see the connections and the opportunities between art and business.
